One would think it more appropriate to hang your butt off the poop deck. (Yes, I know that the nomenclature of the stern/aft/poop deck has not a thing to do with relieving oneself.)
The Victory doesn't have a poop deck. It was mostly a 1600s feature that went out of style in the mid 1700s.

[correction]. Victory did have a poop deck. She didn't have a royal poop deck. It was royal poop deck that went out of style in 1750s. Brain fart.
